Issued: Friday, March 28
Launch Weather Officer: Joel Tumbiolo, 45th Weather Squadron
Synoptic Discussion: "No changes to forecast reasoning. Next potent cold front will approach the area, and move through on Sunday. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms, which will linger into early hours of Monday, will accompany the front. Afterwards, high pressure will build in and dominate the area on launch day, with windy and colder conditions.
"Only concern during the launch window will be ground level winds during the last four minutes of the countdown."
